We plan on taking the 9am Speedy’s ferry from Road Town to Virgin Gorda next Monday and heading back on the 3:30pm. It’s our first time to VG, so we’ll definitely check out the Baths and want to stop at a few beach bars and explore the island a bit. Are there usually taxis waiting at the dock, or should we line something up ahead of time?

Todd--OK, thanks. I definitely know where Fat Tony's is.

Big Bamboo's ice cream is a treat!!

La Chingona is just around the corner from Fat Tony's towards the med school.

I would bet that Eric would like the Chicken Tikka, probably the Chicken Frankie's as well.

BHK: Are you talking about Ocean’s Edge on Simpson Bay, near Mary’s Boon. Our last time there the place was run down and we even had a fire in the unit due to a short in the wiring. Staying at Coco’s just down the beach next time.

Of the three, I would recommend Le Cottage.
Their lobster bisque topped with puff pastry served with a lobster foam on the side is excellent.
For dessert the caramel soufflé is a great way to end.

Not one of your choices but if only one meal in Grand Case, I would enjoy Le Pressoir.

The Key Cay anchorage is pretty easy anchoring with good sand holding, but the last time we were there in December it looked like someone was putting in a bunch of mooring balls so not sure if it is viable anymore. any heavy SE swell or wind i think could make it a pretty uncomfortable night.

The anchoring between Eustatia and Prickly Pear also has good holding in sand and is pretty comfortable in normal wind conditions. Have been there by ourselves and with as many as 5 other boats comfortably spaced. The reef offers good protection from all but a strong NE swell. The entrance to the north is pretty straight forward if you pay attention to the charts and steer clear of the reef extending from the north side of Eustatia to the west. You will likely have a few local boats run through the area behind you at fairly high speed though so just be aware.

White Bay on Guana has like 5 balls but not sure of their restrictions if you want to go ashore.

Diamond Cay has plenty of balls so I wouldn't call it secluded but is a fine anchorage to overnight in most of the time. For seclusion on JVD, would try Little Harbour as it tends to be much less crowded and a couple of classic restaurants to eat at as well.

Never overnighted at Long Bay so can't comment there. Love Savannah Bay as we almost always have the place to ourself but it is redlined for many charter companies.

"Police remind all road users that reckless driving, failure to obey traffic rules, and fleeing the scene of an accident are serious criminal offences."

Yes they are. It would be nice if the police started enforcing this instead of just giving it lip service.

Unfortunately some states are passing laws to make lane splitting legal. Crazy world we live in.

Motorbike "lane - splitting" must be stopped. The bikes should be required to travel in the same manner as automobiles.

..in all sorts of crimes....

The Sunday night bar b q and The Elmtones should be on for quite a whi;e. Elvet the owner is notorious for not promoting..I usually drop by and ask.I would guess the boys will be playing the cook will be cooking..It is at the Elm..not near it..

Out of the three restaurants you’ve listed, my pick would be Le Cottage.

Seems like the scooters are involved more often then not.

SXM Scuba,
No country in the world has succeeded in making traffic accidents "stop." So the answer is, "Never."

Try Stormy Pirate's

I have no idea what AAA would have to offer. Washington St Real ID is an enhanced driver's license. There is a rather long list of approved ID that the TSA will accept including the Passport Card and GE card. Hence I see no need in getting an enhanced drivers license when I have those others to fly domestically.

That is why I have the Passport card and GE card. To get the ID license in WA State isn't cheap and not easy to get into the licensing agency to apply for it.

Does AAA in Washington issue Real ID? AAA in RI does.

Huhm, ok

Thanks for the feedback. Still not having much luck due to closures in August. Do you have recommend any all-day charters that go to multiple stops in the BVI from USVI?

One hit and run resulted in a death. The other both drivers in hospital. When is this going to stop?
